It’s location is amazing, right in the city center and only a short walk to anywhere you need to be. All the staff and other guests staying there were so welcoming and friendly, it really felt like a home away from home.

I was able to book this hostel last minute, and was pleasantly surprised with the low price. The bathrooms and showers were clean (which is always a good sign), the beds were relatively comfortable, and the pillows weren’t too bad, either. I also appreciated that they put charger stations in each bed, and that the WiFi worked well. The kitchen was decent and had multiple stoves to cook on. They actually had two kitchens - a bigger one and a smaller one, which was nice. The location is also great as it is just a few minute walk to the bus stop at sky city, and a short walk to countdown and other local restaurants and bars. Finally, I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

Windows in dorm rooms can’t be opened and air conditioning doesn’t run at night, so you can imagine the disgusting air in the mornings after 8 people slept there. The floor in the dorm was really sticky because it’s never really cleaned, the bathrooms hiwever are cleaned very well.
The location is nice

“Just ok for a place to sleep. Don't expect much more..”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 5 nights

The best part is the location, right across from the Sky Tower. Otherwise, this hostel was just ok. Too many bunks were crammed into each room with no room for suitcases or to move around, which also made for poor circulation and a constant odor. Other than changing the sheets, they didn't clean the rooms (there were all kinds of stuff on the floor and under the bunks). My mattress was horrible and I could feel the springs. I wish they had organized events like walking tours, bike rentals, or even free breakfast, but it was basically just a place to sleep in the city. The locks on the bathrooms didn't work and a guy walked in on me while I was showering which really pissed me off. They were also doing construction right next to room so there was a lot of banging.
Right across from the Sky Tower and 10 minute walk to the cruise ports.

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 4 nights
Room was very, very small, even for a backpackers hostel. Like, i had 2 choices to put my 1 luggage: blocking the door or blocking the way out of the bed. In the description of things you have in your room they make it seem that there will be a bathroom. Well, there is not, only commun bathrooms for all the rooms. Our food was stolen or thrown away from the kitchen, even thou it was labbled. There are absolutly no rules, so there was full-on party all night every night. Very loud music, very loud speaking. Commun areas are not separeted, they are just in front of the rooms. Could not sleep at all.
Not much. Was close to the city center, however there were a lot of strange homless people in the area, so I didn't feel very safe going back and forth.
